Some notable things happening this evening.
Vlad Gutierrez is not getting lit up for once, he's through 5 innings with 1 run (solo HR) against him. While it's obviously discouraging how he's been kicked around in AAA so far I think it's worth remembering he had similar dire struggles in AA last year before righting the ship. Hopefully that's the case here as well.
Brian O'Grady has two more base knocks.
Jose Siri is 2-2 with a double and a stolen base for Chattanooga (still keep wanting to say Pensacola). TJ Friedl has a double and stole home. Tejay Antone has spun five scoreless so far. The man of the hour around here, Alfredo Rodriguez, is not in the lineup tonight.
Stuart Fairchild exorcized some demons with a first inning grand slam for the Tortugas, his first HR of the year. Been a very rough start for the Wake Forest product, hopefully a sign here that he's starting to come around.
Speaking of first HRs of the year, Jose Garcia hit his first tonight as well.
Packy Naughton is through 6 innings on 76 pitches for Daytona and has allowed just a run.
Dayton is the only game where nothing much has happened yet, the Dragons trail 3-0 in the 2nd.
